Case Study: Syracuse City School District achieves granular, scalable web filtering with ContentKeeper Technologies

Syracuse City ‘Blown Away’ by ContentKeeper’s Revolutionary Filtering Capability and Exceptional Support

Syracuse City School District, a 22,000-student public school district in New York, needed a scalable web filtering solution that could keep up with a network upgrade from 1 Gbps to 3 Gbps, decrypt and filter SSL traffic at high speeds, and give IT staff more precise control over social media and other web content. Its existing filtering system was creating bottlenecks and would have required a costly hardware expansion, so the district looked for a better option from ContentKeeper Technologies.

ContentKeeper Technologies implemented its web filtering and security solution, which was piloted in a few schools and then rolled out across all 33 schools. The system handled triple the network capacity without bottlenecks, provided granular filtering for sites like Google Sites and YouTube, and supported SSL decryption with strong performance. Syracuse City also praised ContentKeeper Technologies for exceptional support, including same-day help and on-site setup assistance, and said the team had been “blown away” by the results.
